Frank Delaney at the American Irish Historical Society
On Monday, April 27th. Frank spoke to a rapt audience of old friends and new at the beautiful townhouse of the American Irish Historical Society. A small reception was planned and prepared by legendary caterer, Andrea Giardino, and featured parsnip cakes, smoked trout on Irish brown bread, and classic, Irish scones with cream and jam. Smooth shots of Irish whiskey fueled the crowd, who enjoyed one another’s company along with Frank’s stories of the value and importance of myth to his books, Ireland, Tipperary and now, Shannon.

Shannon is on sale today!
Today, 10 February 2009, sees the publication of my new novel, Shannon. Some may ask, "What's it feel like?" I have a number of answers. Yes, it's a good feeling - of achievement, of a job begun and completed in that most difficult of occupations, writing; but yes, it's also a nervous moment - as it should be, waiting for responses and sales. Two helpful thoughts now ride in: this is my fourth publication date since Ireland, a Novel in 2005; and I'm by now deep, deep into the next book, Blarney, which will appear almost exactly one year from today.
So good luck to Shannon, and to all who read it!
